I don’t understand the difference between Relationship Types C and D. How are they different?

I think D types are unpopular for these three reasons: 1. They seem like they sleep around a lot 2. The papa has a hard time turning them down 3. There’s zero sense of pseudo-romance Older guys are a sentimental bunch, so they want the real thing. If genuine romance isn’t possible, they at least want a simulated romance—even if it’s just an act. D types give the impression that they’re rejecting that kind of pseudo-romance. It’s a matter of perception, though. The difference between C and D is that with C, getting approval on the day satisfies your need for validation, whereas with D, it doesn’t. That’s probably why C is more popular. > Honestly, even if Mr. Loser writes, “I managed to win over an A type on the first day,” it doesn’t make me feel anything. I just think, “So that’s the kind of thing he’s into.” Everyone has their own preferences. The reason I mainly focus on A and B1 is that the difficulty of getting to H is higher, and when it finally happens, my need for validation is intensely satisfied. As Mac says, it’s just a personal preference. That’s why I’ve never made an offer to a D type, and I avoid C types whenever possible.

> Both of them lead to that kind of relationship from the first meeting, right? That only happens from the first meeting when you click with each other. However, whether someone is categorized as C or D depends on how important that chemistry is. C places more weight on chemistry, while D places less. So from a man’s perspective, C comes with a higher chance of being rejected, meaning he needs to come up with a strategy to avoid that. People who don’t put any thought into it probably end up wondering, “Why was I rejected? This makes no sense.” From a woman’s perspective, C means turning someone down if she feels, “I don’t think I can go for this man,” while D means saying yes even if she only feels, “He’s not really my type.” (She only turns down men who are an absolute no.) That’s why C and D aren’t the same. If they were, there’d be no need to distinguish between them. > I heard D is unpopular. But if the actual arrangement is the same, why is that? Because they aren’t the same. Also, D gives people the impression that the woman is okay with anyone. So people who don’t like someone who will accept just anyone, or who enjoy the feeling of putting in effort not to be rejected and eventually starting a relationship, tend to make offers to C instead. That’s probably why D is less popular. That said, there are probably people like you who choose C because they think the two are the same, so it is a difficult issue.

I think D-types are straightforward, good people who wouldn’t bother reading a site like this. The person I met at a standing party hosted by Universe Club six years ago was a D-type. He hardly pursued papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and was a genuinely good person who focused on his work. We kept seeing each other for a year, but he became distant because he seemed to be far too busy with work.

To put it dramatically, they feel about as different as “a hostess club where it’s easy to pick someone up” and “the sex industry.”

I’ve never made an offer to a Type D woman, so I can’t really speak from experience about Type D. What people want from an arrangement varies by type. Some men and women are looking for someone mainly for physical intimacy or the allowance, while others don’t want that. Some want an adult relationship (intimate) every time they meet, while others don’t. With Type C, I think there’s a higher chance of wanting an adult relationship and allowance every time they meet, and that tendency is even stronger with Type D. They’re probably men and women who prefer a straightforward allowance-based relationship. In practice, with Type C, things progress to an adult relationship 100% of the time that day—or at least, the man may feel that they’re expected to. That can create a sense of obligation on the man’s side. With Type D, that feeling seems even stronger, so I’d probably feel more resistant. For me, what matters more than what happens that day is the nature of the relationship and arrangement afterward. Some men want a “perfect” woman for papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), while others prefer someone who isn’t perfect. It really depends on the person. Personally, I prefer women who aren’t used to papa-katsu and aren’t perfect.

That’s how it feels because the person asking is more of a D-leaning C. As Maezawa-san has explained repeatedly, C means there’s roughly a 50% chance of an adult relationship on the day of the meeting. So, from the woman’s perspective, it means, “I’ll turn down one out of every two men.” The man feels a little pleased inside because he was one of the two who got chosen—that’s the setup. Relationship types are like clothes. You should think about what suits you, not what you want to wear. Do you get it? It’s all presentation—a form of self-promotion to market yourself. So even if a girl is really a D inside, she may strategically start out as B2, B1, or even A. A woman’s body is her trump card; it’s all about when she chooses to play it. I’ve heard that D-type girls aren’t popular because they seem available to anyone, but I don’t really share that prejudice. If anything, I think, “She’s honest and inexperienced.” On the other hand, I’m suspicious of A and B1 types, wondering whether there’s some ulterior motive. Those are the ones who can draw you in and make the total amount you give them much higher. So I do sometimes decide not to make an offer. Too risky. As I see it, the moment a woman registers with a dating club, they’re all D types. The only difference is how much they make you wait. That’s probably appealing to people who enjoy the process of seduction. Honestly, even if some “loser guy” writes, “I won over an A-type girl on the first day,” I don’t feel anything. I just think, “So that’s the kind of game he enjoys.” Everyone has their own preferences. As for how a papa-katsu woman decides her relationship type, I think several factors are involved: 1. **Wariness** — Whether the other person can be trusted. Will he keep her secrets? Will he become a stalker? Will his personality suddenly change once they’re in bed? 2. **Cleanliness** — No one wants to be intimate with someone dirty or unpleasant, but everyone has a different level of tolerance. 3. **Whether she enjoys sex** — This is a major factor. I suspect that A-type “money-taking girls” are often surprisingly uncomfortable with intimacy, but because they want money, they develop their skills in that particular direction. 4. **Strategy** — As I mentioned above. As a rough ratio, I’d say ①②③④ are about 3:2:4:1. You can realize this if you conduct a thought experiment and put yourself in the position of a papa-katsu woman: romantic feelings for a papa don’t just spring up that easily. Questions like “I’ve fallen for my papa” occasionally appear here, but surely that only happens after repeatedly going on dates that include physical intimacy, right? If you become intimate with someone you had repeatedly gone on dinner-only dates with, I don’t think it means romantic feelings have developed. It feels more like you’ve finally reached the starting line. That’s one way this differs from ordinary romance.
